28 <para>The <application>Perl</application> module packages add useful
29 objects to the <application>Perl</application> language. Modules utilized
30 by packages throughout BLFS are listed here, along with their dependencies.
31 Installation of the modules shown on this page should be accomplished by
32 installing the listed dependencies (from the bottom and working up to the
33 top) and then the desired module. Most references to
34 <application>Perl</application> modules are in the form of Module,
35 Module::SubName or Module::Sub::Name, though sometimes you'll see Module,
36 Module-SubName or Module-Sub-Name. The references on this page that reflect
37 an external URL are in the latter form, as these are the official package
38 names.</para>

52 <para>Some dependencies, such as the <xref linkend="perl-test-pod"/>
53 module, are used by several of the listed dependencies of the main
54 module and perhaps also the module being installed. Dependencies such as
55 this are only listed once in the dependency chain for each main module
56 (typically near the bottom-most dependency) to avoid redundancy and
57 additional clutter in the instructions.</para>

60 <!-- This is info for the Test::Builder::Tester module which may very well
61 be obsolete now. The packages that need it apparently also now need
62 Test::More-0.62 which is a core Perl module in an updated version. To
63 install the Test::More-0.62 version you must install the
64 Test::Simple-0.62 module which will overwrite the Perl core stuff.
65 The Test::Simple-0.62 module now includes the Test::Builder::Tester
66 module. Perl versions starting with Perl-5.9.x will have this module
67 include in the core at which time Test::Builder::Tester can be forever
68 removed from this page as it will then also be a core module.

519 <para>The Module::Build module is a system for building, testing, and
520 installing <application>Perl</application> modules. It is meant to be an
521 alternative to ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Developers may alter the behavior of
522 the module through subclassing in a much more straightforward way than with
523 MakeMaker. It also does not require a <command>make</command> command on
524 your system. Most of the Module::Build code is
525 pure-<application>Perl</application> and written in a very cross-platform
526 way.</para>

1014 <para>The Test::Simple module contains utilities designed to assist
1015 developers in creating tests. A version of Test::Simple was installed
1016 during LFS with the <application>Perl</application>-&lfs-perl-version;
1017 installation, however, some of the sub-modules contained in Test::Simple
1018 have been updated (notably, the Test::More module) and these updated
1019 modules are now required by other modules. This updated version of
1020 Test::Simple also now includes the Test:Builder:Tester module, required by
1021 many of the modules on this page. Note that installing this updated
1022 version of Test::Simple will overwrite some files from the original
1023 <application>Perl</application> installation, but there's really nothing to
1024 be alarmed about as these modules are only used by developers creating
1025 tests, or for running the test suites during additional module
1026 installations.</para>

1054 <para>Text::Diff is used to perform diffs on files and record sets. It
1055 provides a basic set of services akin to the GNU <command>diff</command>
1056 utility. It is not anywhere near as feature complete as GNU
1057 <command>diff</command>, but it is better integrated with
1058 <application>Perl</application> and available on all platforms. Text::Diff
1059 is often faster than shelling out to a system's <command>diff</command>
1060 executable for small files, and generally slower on larger files. The
1061 modules listed below are installed using the standard
